...cheating them out of overtime pay. The 1945 Federal Employees Pay Act, which requires overtime pay or compensatory time off if more than 40 hours are worked, has somehow never been enforced by Justice at Justice. The agency claims that overtime pay would be simply un-lawyerly (not to mention quite costly).

He rapped leftie litanies in "Bulworth," got pink in "Reds" and went up against a vast right-wing conspiracy in "The Parallax View" (not to mention pretty much embodying the shaggy-haired, hard-partying Love Generation for the meat of his career).
